Heaven Scent — Karinn Martel

Some say that legends are born. Others say they are made. What if they are both right? Charlie finds herself to where it all started. Immersed in the life of Jesus, his disciples, and his family, prove to be challenging not only for Charlie but for those around her who cannot decide whether she is a gift from heaven or a curse from hell. It comes as a huge shock to find that the first thirteen men she knighted are now with her as Jesus and his disciples. At first, only she knows who they are, but along the way, she finds two adversaries who help her in her quest. Figuring out who the enemies are and how she can turn things around is not her only obstacle. Angil has no idea who she is or why she seems fixated on him and his relationship with Jesus' sister Ruth, who Charlie knows as Eva; her most perplexing rival for his affections. Once back to her own time, she finds that she has to remain on earth alone while her family and friends are in heaven, ready for a new war. Armed with only a key that was given to her by the archangel Michael, and no means of getting off the island the realm settled in, she has to figure out what it is for and where to use it. Then, she has to get to heaven where the gates are closed to her. In the twelfth instalment of the Vampires & Chocolate Collection, follow along with Charlie as she tells the story of how she became the person she was meant to be. This is her story. This is her legend.
